Answer:

26 miles away

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Drawing out a picture would help you here. I drew one out so you can see how I got started.

2. Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x (total distance from starting point).

10^2 + 24^2 = x^2

100 + 576 = x^2

676 = x^2

[Take the square root of both sides]

x = 26 miles

I hope this helps!
